Whitespace is a good thing

'Whitespace' is what it says - the blank space on your website that is not used for text or images. Liberal use of whitespace makes a page look less cluttered and allows the reader to find information more easily - and in turn allowing you to get your message across more effectively.
White or very light coloured backgrounds are best, sites with dark backgrounds are hard to read for extended periods. The successful web sites with a lot of visitors all use a white background. Take note when you're surfing around the Internet at the proportion of sites that have a white (or very light) coloured background versus those with a dark background. Which do you prefer?
